Cevap
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
- It means: we keep ourselves pure from those kinds of actions (i.e. corruption and bloodshed) for Your sake. [Ibn ʿAbbās]
- It means: we glorify and exalt you (taʿẓīm and takbīr). [Mujāhid]
- It means: we offer prayer (ṣalāh) to you. [Qatādah]
